In my opinion the Shump for Asik deal would be a horrible one. I like Asik but i just feel like he'd eventually end up being a backup for Chandler. I dont view Asik as a PF and we need more then a backup if we're gonna trade shump.

I noticed that the Kings have interest in Shumpert. What does everybody think of Isiah Thomas? From what I've seen of him i like him but i know hes only 5'9 and I'm not sure about his defense.

I do know hes a scorer, a better scorer then Ray Felt at that

If he didnt have the name Isiiah Thomas, he wouldve been a TOP-10 pick in the draft rather than the last pick in the 2nd round.

I saw the future in him. I must have been blind. His D-league performance have shown me that he is nothing more than pure garbage. A SG that can't shoot, are you kidding me? Send him to the D-league for all i care.

There is no reason they would trade Shump for Asik. Houston needs a big floor spacer (like Bargiani) in return for Asik. That said, i don't see why they would deal with us, when they can get Ryan Anderson from the Pelicans who is better than Bargiani and it solves problems for both teams. Houston already has too many guards. The only thing we can really do is try to move melo now for picks (prob won't because he can opt out) and let everyones contract expire. One destination might be Chicago now that Rose is done.

When we’re winning and playing better as a team, I’ll play better as a player.” -Iman Shumpert. Hell of a guy some of you think should be untouchable. Imagine if Melo said this? The world would explode.

Did he really say that? Well, if he did, i beleive him for some reason. There is something going on between him and Woodson and Shumpert just doesnt play nearly as well as he can.
How many times we traded young promising players and they blossomed in other teams? I think, if we trade him, thats exactly what may happen.
This team needs a real coach, who can demand and inforce some game plan, strategy, discipline, identify the correct starting 5, implement logical rotation.
Look at our players mentality. Everybody is trigger happy. They shoot instead of moving the ball. Even KMart lol. And when they miss, they are slow in transition D.
Now look at SA Spurs. They never take off balance shots, dont force anything, just move the ball untill they find the open man.
I blame this on Woodson.

Shumpert has looked bad this year, and particularly bad last night. Clyde says that he has lost his swagger. Plainly he is frustrated. He takes fewer shots per minute than anyone else. His handle is bad. He has regressed. I believe he has been in the Dolan/Woodson doghouse and that if we trade him he will blossom.

Shump is a KEEPER, unless we can get Faried ....
When we draft Shump it took a week or more for us to find out who EFF he was.
Shump was not listed as a high-priority draft pick in 2011, he was listed as a B+ defensive SG.
After seeing Shumps rookie performance, I gave him 3-4 yrs before being a starter.
Why did we make Shump a starter in the 2011-12 postseason games? Big minus for HC
Shump's a wiining player coming off the bench.

When we drafted Shump, we were in desperate need of a SG, dum-dum Walsh had us starting rookie SF-Landry Fields as our starter-SG. We chose JR.smith to be our 30 minute SG (somemaysay Melo chose him).
